Reawakened Tour Stop, Brazil!
Colleen travelled to Brazil by invitation this past August to see and meet some of her hugest fans. I was lucky to be her plus one on this trip! A little about me: I’m Colleen’s husband, Brad. I’m the youngest of four kids. I’ve been Deaf since I was five so I watch every movie with caption glasses. I love sports and reading (I’ll admit I’ve read Twilight but prefer thrillers like Jack Reacher). My favorite ice cream is mint chocolate chip. I’ll never turn down a taco. I write poetry.

San Diego Comic Con 2015 Report
So it has long been a dream of mine to attend San Diego Comic Con and that dream was finally realized this year when my generous publisher chose me as one of the few authors they invited to be a part of the 2015 team. Here’s how my Comic Con experience went… July 9th-Thursday (Miles walked 7) We flew in to San Diego and weren’t able to check in until 5:30 or so. Because of that, we left our luggage at the hotel, picked up a Land of the traveler map, and made our way to the conference to register. …

Top 10 Things at RT15
For those of you who’ve been following me for a while, you know that I attend a conference every year called the Romantic Times Convention. If you are a fan of romance or YA books, this conference is an amazing one for fans. A lot of author conventions focus on the craft of writing and this one does too but it also has what’s called a reader track. This means that during the entire week readers have cool parties, workshops, and activities designed just for them. Next year RT is happening in Las Vegas …

Glamming up for the Steampunk Party at the Romantic Times Convention 2015
Another awesome convention has come to an end, and I’m already suffering from sister withdrawls. This year all three sisters came to celebrate Colleen’s overwhelming success and we even lassoed a few extra family members and friends into our corral in Dallas, Texas. We started to plan for this party last year as we shopped for corsets, torture devises that can really boost or destroy your self esteem with just a few painful tugs, homemade aged metallic jewelry, boots that make you cheer with appreciation for what they can do for your squat height, and bustles that somehow make you …
